i think you should look it this way,

do you believe your team is better than those who got into 1st to 4th place in your division ? if no then let it be a reward to those who deeply invested in their team to be this competitive meaning look at his team overall salary compare to yours.

if not, probably injury? well as i said before life isnt fair. probably you need to invest in a better doctor or probably the other team dont get injuries often even with a bad doctor. but it doesnt have to mean everything should conform to all is fair and good.

your talking about salary cap in the nba, but what does it have to do with your bb complain? the nba has 82 games of which surely there is at least half of ts game are played at home. also dont you think the gate receipts that every home game the nba itself dont get a % out of it?do you think its 100% to the home team?

that is why even with the luxury tax rule how come some teams are willing to go over just to be competitive, because they owe to their fans who is willing to pay big money for game tickets, as well as advertising. do you think the nba itself is the one in charge handling live games to tv networks? NO . . . its the network and the team that works on a contract for tv rights. oh if you look at your financial page you can see you have already a revenue from tv rights.

if you dont believe me try looking here look for "the business of sport" just by google it.

also if you want to be really into money, we are already lucky enough to have our stadium to not have any cost or expenses because in real life or the nba if you want your own stadium usually its the Stadiums are usually built and maintainted by the city council or state department. They only pay to use the stadium.

you should look at it this way, if you believe that playing bb is only getting the best players to be competitive then your wrong, if you think that to win i having 5 guys with salaries over 60k your wrong again. look at my team i dont have a very high salary guy and i only have 1 national player ( actually it was 2 but he got kicked out this season) but look at the history of my team.

give yourself time to understand more the game. and probably youll get the edge in getting consistent always away from the 5th place finish.

lastly, i think the reason why the 5th place doesnt get anything is also a way to encourage you that you really need to compete if you want something good for you and your team. because if they start handing out rewards for this then we can become complacent enough and there is no more meaning to what your doing.

also if you feel like just doing the relegation match is much better than the 5th place finish its fine if you want to play a risky approach to your team.

also to be in that spot in the standings also means you dont get a better advantage to your attendance which is also a waste in your part.

and lastly from my standpoint if you feel playing relegating matches is better than 5th place due to money, your making a big mistake because aside from your actually losing more than what you gain, i think something is wrong with your planning and development of your team.

also for the one who said the rich become richer . . . . i guess that why they said winners have em all look they got the fat contracts , they got the best marketing contract, they are being courted by the best companies in the world to represent them, also they got a lot of fans etc etc etc . . .

dont mistake that this has to do with the economy thing that the bb is doing, they will still control the economy bt whatever they do the winners will often benefit if not get the best of both worlds.

the big problem is, that in the most cases the relegation matches aren't even risky. And i am not meaning that you could count on a pretty sure win, which is often the case i mean in germany there a 42 relegation matchups, where the looser demotes, but around 100(at least till IV.50 the leagues are pretty full but even in the ones behind there are a lot of humans) where even the looser just get his reward.

Through the league structure of BB i am pretty sure, that this is the case in nearly every country.

i tried to loose it sometimes in the last games, because i like money instead of loosing money with a calculated risk those extra million seems worth it.
